Stop software patents in Europe

Editor’s note: this petition dates back to 2009 and can no longer be signed. However, you can still visit the site if you wish.

The patent system is misused to restrain competition for the economical benefit of a few but fails to promote innovation. A software market environment is better off with no patents on software at all. Healthy competition forces market players to innovate. If you value your computing freedom then sign the petition to stop software patents in the EU. Sign petition now.
